In the Pop Mart universe, "limited" usually means a few thousand blind boxes spread across the globe. The Hirono Living Wild Freedom Island Drift Bottle Ornament is something else entirely — 899 individually numbered pieces, real glass construction, a certificate of authenticity, a hand-written scroll inside, and a wooden crate to present it in. This is not a blind box. This is a collector's artifact.
Freedom Island & the Living Wild Series
The Hirono Living Wild series is artist Lang's most expansive exploration of Hirono's emotional universe — a collection of works set against the natural world, where the quiet boy finds himself wandering coastlines, forests, and open seas. Freedom Island is one of its most fully realized chapters. The imagery is oceanic: drift bottles washing ashore carrying unread messages, the sound of waves as a form of emotional language, the sea as a metaphor for everything inside us that has no words.
The drift bottle is one of literature's oldest symbols of longing and hope — you put something precious inside, seal it, and release it to whatever comes next. Lang gives that symbol physical form. The Hirono Freedom Island Drift Bottle is that moment made permanent: a message in a bottle that was never meant to be thrown away.

What Makes It Different from Everything Else Hirono
Pop Mart produces hundreds of Hirono pieces every year — blind boxes, mega figures, plush pendants, jewelry. Most are made in the thousands or tens of thousands. The Freedom Island Drift Bottle is produced in 899 pieces total, worldwide. That number is not arbitrary: it echoes the imprecision of a found object, the specificity of something that was made for a reason you might not fully understand but can feel.
The material alone sets it apart. Every other Hirono collectible is vinyl, PVC, ABS, resin, or fabric. This one is real glass. It has a weight, a fragility, and a luminosity that manufactured plastics cannot replicate. Collectors who have received theirs describe it as genuinely beautiful in person — the kind of beautiful that makes you stop and look twice before putting it down.
🫙 Real Glass Bottle
Not resin, not acrylic — actual glass. The weight and light-catching quality of real glass gives this piece a presence that sets it apart from every other Hirono release.
📜 Poetic Scroll Inside
Each bottle contains a small hand-rolled scroll with a poetic message — intentional storytelling built into the object itself. Open the bottle and there is something waiting inside.
🪵 Wooden Presentation Crate
The bottle ships in a wooden crate with an authentication sticker and serial code on the back. The packaging is a display object in its own right — collectible before you even open it.
🏷️ Certificate of Authenticity
Every piece comes with a COA matching its unique edition number. Your piece is traceable, authenticated, and genuinely yours — #427 of 899 belongs to exactly one person.
The Full Specifications
Why This Is the One Hirono to Own
Hirono has collaborated with Vans, CLOT, Keith Haring, and Kodak. He has been released in mega figures, plush pendants, rings, and blind boxes across dozens of series. But none of those releases are numbered. None of them come with a certificate of authenticity. None of them are made of glass and housed in a wooden crate. The Freedom Island Drift Bottle is the only Hirono piece in existence that is simultaneously a limited-edition art object, a functional display piece, and a completely unique individual artifact.
The secondary market reflects this. Pieces that surface on resale platforms — eBay, Mercari — come with the original wooden crate, authentication sticker, and COA intact. Sellers who own them describe them as "masterpieces" and note that they arrive better packaged than almost anything else in the Pop Mart ecosystem, because the seller and the platform both understand what is being shipped. Collectors who have received theirs note that even the glass, despite being fragile, arrives in perfect condition because of how seriously the packaging is taken.
With only 899 in the world, each one you see listed is one of fewer than nine hundred that exist anywhere. The number on your COA is the number of the only object exactly like yours on earth.
A Note on Rarity
Pop Mart regularly produces "limited" items in runs of 3,000–10,000 units. A run of 899 is genuinely exceptional — comparable to art edition prints rather than toy production. The wooden crate, numbered certificate, and real-glass construction are also without precedent in the standard Hirono lineup. This is not a marketing term. This is an actual edition of fewer than one thousand objects, globally.

Shop the Drift Bottle →The Freedom Island Plush Doll — UK Exclusive
If the drift bottle is the most precious piece from the Freedom Island world, the UK Exclusive Plush Doll is its most huggable companion. Released as a region-exclusive hanging card plush, this is the piece you can actually hold — soft, intricately detailed, and carrying all of Hirono's signature quiet warmth in a format made to be touched rather than just displayed.
UK exclusives in the Pop Mart universe are genuinely harder to source than standard global releases — they don't appear in Pop Mart's international online store and are not distributed outside their home region through official channels. Finding one outside the UK means going to a collector who sourced it directly. It's available now through Canvas & Charms.
🌊 Region Exclusive
UK-only release — not available through Pop Mart's global online store. Harder to find than standard series pieces and genuinely scarce outside its home region.

🎴 Hanging Card Display
Comes with a hanging card for display or gifting — ready to hang on a shelf, a bag, or give as a collector's gift without any additional packaging needed.
